Other than soul food, what is your favorite cuisine? Do you cook it at home or go to restaurants to enjoy it?

Hi Jimmyo

I love both Jamaican food and Indian food, and probably so because both cuisines use lots of spices and herbs, which I like. But when I travel I eat the local food; consider that part of my research.

But here in New York I cook everyday, and friends come over often for dinner. There are many "ethnic" stores and shops in NYC, and I can pretty much buy ingredients from around the world. I found it fun to go in the kitchen and tinker with the different cuisines of the world and see what I come up with.

I like French pastries, but no more so that a nice wedge of chocolate icing cake, or a slice of lemony chess pie, down-home style.
